5.1 Limit values for emissions into air shall be interpreted as follows: 5.1.1 For continuous measuring:
a. No 24-hour mean value shall exceed the emission limit value; b. 95% of all 30-minute mean values shall not exceed 1.2 times the emission limit value; c. No 30 minute mean value shall exceed twice the emission limit value.
5.1.2 For non-continuous measuring: a. If, for any reason, 30 minute sampling is not feasible, it is necessary to apply a suitable sampling period, and the values obtained should not exceed the emission limit values. b. For flow, no daily average shall exceed the limit value. c. For other parameters, no 30-minute mean value shall exceed the emission limit value. d. Mass flow thresholds shall refer to emissions expressed in units of kg/h above which the concentration emission limit value applies. e. Mass flow threshold values shall be calculated on the basis of the concentration determined as an average in a given period multiplied by an appropriately measured flow. No value, so determined, shall exceed the set mass flow limit value. 5.2 The concentration limit values for emissions into air established in this permit shall be based on gas volume under normal conditions: 5.2.1 For non-combustion gases: Temperature 273K, pressure 101.3 kPa (no correction for oxygen or water content). 5.2.2 For combustion gases: Temperature 273K, pressure 101.3 kPa, dry gas; 3% oxygen for liquid and gas fuels, 6% oxygen for solid fuels. 5.3 Limit values for emissions into water:3.3.1 Continuous monitoring:
a. No pH value shall be outside the specified range. b. No flow value shall exceed the specified limit. 3.3.2 Non-continuous monitoring: a. No pH value shall be outside the specified range.. b. No temperature value shall exceed the limit value. c. For all parameters other than pH, temperature and flow, no daily mean sample shall exceed the emission limit values specified in Annex 2.1 and/or 3.1. d. For all parameters other than pH, temperature and flow, no random sample shall exceed 1.2 times the emission limit values set out in Annex 2.1 and/or 3.1.
